I am currently running Mint 14 xfce on my iMac as my main OS and love it. I have finally figured out how to record audio from the radio attached to my iMac. It turns out that when I run the Pulse Audio Volume control app, I can record from my radio. Can I do this with Puppy Linux?

I'm in Puppy now on my iMac booted from the CD. Still not working. Not quite sure what is different from Mint 14 and Puppy. When booted in Mint, no problem recording. I have the Pulse Audio Volume Control installed in Mint and am able to see the Sound indicators showing that it is capturing audio. See my initial post.

Not sure if I have to install Pulse Audio Volume app to get this to work. Not sure if there is a version for Puppy Linux that works.

I frequently record audio from the line-in jack socket in Puppy, not with an iMac I must admit, but I have never needed to install Pulse Audio. It is just a case of finding the right settings in Retrovol or Alsa Mixer for capture.

Precord has an audio input level meter. Just click the config button to expand the GUI and then it is the button next to "Quit" in the bottom right-hand corner._________________Oscar in England
